Sensor Specialisation Continued to Define the Sensing Layer

Relationship to Annual Outlook: Strengthens the Outlook

3/1/2022

Summary

Evidence early in 2022 strongly supports the view that industrial vision is becoming more application-specific at the sensing layer. SWIR, hyperspectral, polarization, RGB-IR, global shutter and infrared imaging appear repeatedly across research, commercialization and application evidence.
